Starting Blocs - FontainebleauFri Night Vid

© UKC News

Tonight's Friday Night Video is from Topout Media, a film featuring some classic Fontainebleau boulder problems under 7A. Get that ferry booked now and make the most of the cold, crisp winter conditions!

"If you've ever been to Font, you'll know that the f5's can feel as hard as the f7's. When planning a trip it can be hard to get psyched when all the films just show the hard problems. From Topout Media comes the first 'Starting Blocs' film to showcase some of the best and slightly lesser known problems below 7A."

I wish climbing videos would stop displaying the act of chalking up as something poetic and classy (ooooh, look, it's flying in the air like snow!), especially when they're geared towards beginners or relative beginners (at least this one shows three seconds of brushing). And dipping your hands up to the wrist is utterly useless and counterproductive. Other than that it's pleasant and a welcome change from most videos (though I would hardly call the über classics Duroxmanie and La Voie Michaud "slightly lesser known problems" :) ) P.S.: It's Roche aux Sabots, not Rocher Sabots

Brilliant video, some beautifully framed shots in there. Also nice to see routes that aren't at the very hardest grades getting appreciated, to me they look much more natural and graceful lines than most of the super difficult stuff.

The gite has been booked for Easter, and watching this great little film has got me psyched out of my tiny mind! Nicely shot, the beginning reminded me that Cuisiniere is one of the best spots on the planet.
